EXCLUDE JAPS

ON TWO POINTS JAPS
Johnson Bill , to Prohibit Aliens From
Being Members of Corporations , De
feated Alien Land Bill , Also
Beaten.
Sacramento , Cat. , Feb. 4. The bill
excluding Japanese from the public
schools of California passed the house
today.
Sacramento , Cal. , Feb. 4. Johnson's
bill prohibiting aliens from being mem
bers of corporations , was defeated to
day by a vote of 54 to 15. ,
Saciamenlo , Cal. , Fob. I. The defeat

anti-Japanese legislation to give in ;
all hopes of success at this session
Goveinoi Olllett will no\\ push tin
Japanese census meabiiie.
Sacramento , Cal. , Fob. 4. After a
lengthy debate the assembly , by a vote
of 48 to liS , i ejected the bill diuwn by
A. M. Diow , hairing aliens ftoiu own
ership ot land In Calilornla. The bill
had been amended at thu request of
Piesldent Roosevelt and Seciotaiy
Root bo that the clause uppl ) Ing to
Japanese only was eliminated , mak
ing the bill apply to all aliens , but the
measuie aiouscd such a fatorm of op
position that long before the debata
was closed by Air. Drew It was appar
ent that the measure would be de-
ieated.
The result of this contest is con
sidered a fail test of the lolatlve
strength of the two factions , in the-as
sembl ) and as loreslmdowlng the de
feat of all measures that would tend
to embairasb the national go\ eminent
In Itb relations \\lth Japan.
In substance , the objection to it
was that it would diive at lui l a bil
lion dollars ot loielgn capital out ol
the state and might jeopaidlze the
ptesont filondl ) compieieial relations
with Japan.
The supporleis of the bill contcndei !
that tlie state was being overrun b )
thriftj Japanese , \\ho were graduallj
gaining an Impregnable position a ;
landowneib and whose goveinmem
\\as tring to dictate to Caliloinia re
garding legislation.
Two beiibational sp9ocbes were
made , one tor and one against tin
measure.

speech be walked butkwaid nom his
seat to the lobby rail and beizing ii
bis arms a golden bailed gill of tliiec
held her alolt and declared that IK
was "in favor ot this as opposed U
the Japanese menace to our iiibtltu
tlons. "
Nathan G. Cole ot San Francisco
who was elected with the indorsenieni
of the Union Labor party , opposed the
Drew bill on the ground that It was it
conlllct with the state constitution , sc
that It was Inimical to union labor am
that it was not favoied by the ua
tlonal administration , which , he said
was dealing with a delicate pioblen
and should be suppoited by the pee
pie of California.
Dramatically confronting Assembly
man Drew , be said : "It President
Roosevelt bhould throw open the doors
of this assembly chamber and , lajlnt
bis bands on jour shoulders , shouk
request , for reasons of state , that > oi
withdraw this bill , you , Mr. Drew , as
a patriotic citizen of the Unltet
States , would assent without a mur
raur. "
This sally was received with greal
applause.
In reply , Air. Drew , closing bis argu
ment for the bill , declared that he hat
received a letter from the president , It
which he stated that he was not op
posed to the bill as It bud been amend
ed at his request.
